 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, August 05, 2002 VOL. I Issue 8D DARREL HINKLE SHOPS FOR AIRPLANE Holabird's own pilot in training, Darrel Hinkle has been taking flight training for a while, and now is interested in buying his own airplane. His Grandfather E.E. Hinkle has offerred to loan him up to $400,000 for one. It's safe to say Darrel can't get a plane for that low of a figure. Not an operational one anyway. You never know. ON THE ROAD AGAIN by Hiram Gonagan Darrel Hinkle took his family to a very disappointing air show in Rapid City on Saturday morning. They did manage to stop in Deadwood to see Kristi Hinkle's Father Jan Van Tasel. The trip home was slow around Sturgis as it took 2 hours to move through because of the bike rally now known as the "62nd Annual Sturgis Rally and Races". They got home at 2am Sunday morning. George and Mavis Kennedy took E.E. Hinkle to the home of Doug Hinkle on Sunday. Mavis provided dinner for the group consiting of them and Noel Pothast and almost 8 month old baby Cade, who ate potato salad and kept it down.Doug showed all of the things that he and Noel have done to the house since moving into it about a year and a half ago. DON'T FORGET THE PLEDGE by Jerry Hinkle, Special to The Holabird Advocate I, your courageous, dynamic Publisher has not been doing his job very well as of late. I Have been distracted and detoured from my duties. This newspaper does deserve better, and I beliver that you, the readers, do as well. I was reminded that The Flag Pledge is still unconstitutional in the 9th Circuit Court. Why did I forget all about it? I suppose the other news of the day has been a part of it. The kidnappings, The trapped coal miners, even that Anna-Nicole Smith Show is in the media spotlight nationally. Locally We've had funerals, 100th birthdays and overseas tourists mentioned. The story of The Pledge just died down and we moved on like it was over. You and I heard the experts say "It will be overturned". Well, it hasn't happenned yet, and it's been almost 2 months. Since that case was decided in late June, some interesting things have come to light. It turns out that the daughter that the plantiff in the case supposedly fought for had no problem with saying the Pledge,even the part "under God" because she and her mother are both Christians. The father of that poor little girl has embarrassed her quite a bit by pursuing this whole thing. It's not hard to see why her mother divorced that kook. So what can we do now. Obviously we have to keep The Pledge in our thoughts and hope that this great wrong will be made right. The Supreme court will not meet again until October. As for the full 9th Circuit doing the Reversal, not even I know what they're going to do,or when. I guess that all we really can do is written in the title of this column. "Don't forget The Pledge"
